  • Publication number: 20230267686
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for utilizing one or more neural networks to recursively subdivide a three-dimensional mesh according to local geometries of vertices in the three-dimensional mesh. For example, the disclosed system can determine a local geometry (e.g., a one-ring neighborhood of half-flaps) for each vertex in a three-dimensional mesh. For each subdivision iteration, the disclosed system can then utilize a neural network to determine displacement coordinates for existing vertices in the three-dimensional mesh and coordinates for new vertices added to edges between the existing vertices in the three-dimensional mesh in accordance with the local geometries of the existing vertices. Furthermore, the disclosed system can generate a subdivided three-dimensional mesh based on the determined displacement coordinates for the existing vertices and the determined coordinates for the new vertices.

  • Patent number: 11551038
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for generating and using a unified shape representation that encompasses features of different types of shape representations. In some embodiments, the unified shape representation is a unicode comprising a vector of embeddings and values for the embeddings. The embedding values are inferred, using a neural network that has been trained on different types of shape representations, based on a first representation of a three-dimensional (3D) shape. The first representation is received as input to the trained neural network and corresponds to a first type of shape representation. At least one embedding has a value dependent on a feature provided by a second type of shape representation and not provided by the first type of shape representation. The value of the at least one embedding is inferred based upon the first representation and in the absence of the second type of shape representation for the 3D shape.

  • Patent number: 11403807
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve techniques for generating a 3D representation based on a provided 2D image of an object. An image generation system receives the 2D image representation and generates a multi-dimensional vector of the input that represents the image. The image generation system samples a set of points and provides the set of points and the multi-dimensional vector to a neural network that was trained to predict a 3D surface representing the image such that the 3D surface is consistent with a 3D surface of the object calculated using an implicit function for representing the image. The neural network predicts, based on the multi-dimensional vector and the set of points, the 3D surface representing the object.

  • Publication number: 20220229943
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for generating a 3D model from a target 2D image or 3D point cloud (e.g., generated by a 3D scan). Given a particular target, a retrieval network retrieves or identifies a source model from a database, and a deformation network deforms the source model to fit the target. In some cases, joint learning is employed to enable the retrieval and deformation networks to jointly learn a deformation-aware retrieval embedding space and an individualized deformation space for each source model. In some cases, the retrieval network retrieves based on distance in the deformation-aware retrieval embedding space, enabling the retrieval module to retrieve a source model that best fits to the target after deformation. In some cases, a deformation is decomposed into a plurality of per-part deformations, and/or and the retrieval embedding space is used to select training data.

  • Patent number: 11282290
    Abstract: Using a prediction engine, generating, based on deformations of prior editing operations performed with a graphics editing tool, suggested editing operations that augment current editing operations applied to a graphical object. The prediction engine accesses first samples defining first positions along first paths of previous editing operations applied to a mesh object in a previous frame and second samples defining second positions along second paths of executed editing operations applied in a current frame. The prediction engine identifies, from a comparison of the first samples and the second samples, a matching component set from the previous editing operations that corresponds to the executed editing operations. The prediction engine deforms the first samples toward the second samples and determines suggested editing operations that comprise a non-matching component set as modified based on the deformed first samples.

  • Patent number: 11257290
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for iteratively decimating a three-dimensional mesh utilizing successive self-parameterization. For example, the disclosed system can self-parameterize local geometries of a three-dimensional mesh using surface mappings within a two-dimensional surface mapping space. The disclosed system can collapse edges in the three-dimensional mesh to create new vertices from the collapsed edges. The disclosed system can parameterize the collapsed edges based on the surface mappings to collapse corresponding edges within the surface mapping space. The disclosed system can thus generate a decimated three-dimensional mesh by collapsing edges in the three-dimensional mesh while providing a bijective map between points in the decimated three-dimensional mesh and corresponding points in the three-dimensional mesh.

  • Patent number: 11189094
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for 3D object reconstruction using photometric mesh representations. A decoder is pretrained to transform points sampled from 2D patches of representative objects into 3D polygonal meshes. An image frame of the object is fed into an encoder to get an initial latent code vector. For each frame and camera pair from the sequence, a polygonal mesh is rendered at the given viewpoints. The mesh is optimized by creating a virtual viewpoint, rasterized to obtain a depth map. The 3D mesh projections are aligned by projecting the coordinates corresponding to the polygonal face vertices of the rasterized mesh to both selected viewpoints. The photometric error is determined from RGB pixel intensities sampled from both frames. Gradients from the photometric error are backpropagated into the vertices of the assigned polygonal indices by relating the barycentric coordinates of each image to update the latent code vector.
